Utah FORGE 5-2565: Hydrothermal Evolution of Fracture Properties - 2023 Annual Workshop Presentation
This is a presentation on the Evolution of Permeability and Strength Recovery of Shear Fractures Under Hydrothermal Conditions project by the U.S. Geological Survey, presented by Dr. David Lockner. The project's objective was to determine how thermal, hydraulic, mechanical, and chemical processes affect the sustainability of fracture networks in geothermal reservoirs and provide strategies for improved EGS techniques that maximize thermal coupling and increase reservoir longevity. This presentation was featured in the Utah FORGE R&D Annual Workshop on September 8, 2023. The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to explore the progress made in each of the 17 Research and Development projects funded under Solicitation 2020-1 which aim to enhance our understanding of the crucial factors influencing the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) reservoirs and resources.
